to determine the difference between pretest and posttest in each group and independent t-test to
determine the difference between the different groups .
Results: The average difference in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in the intervention group
was higher than the control group. The average difference in hemoglobin levels in the
intervention group was 1.8 g/dL and the control group was 0.9 g/dL, (p < 0.05), The difference
in the average hematocrit level in the intervention group was 5.6% and the control group was
2.7% (p < 0.05).
The researchers also found significant statistics differences between hemoglobin and
hematocrit levels of female adolescents from intervention and control groups with
